Some of the most blatant misinformation has come out of the Australian wildfires. Started by someone making the claim with no evidence that they were started by arsonists. Of course there is a kernel of truth to this since there are people commiting arson everywhere. The statistic was 24 people had been charged with arson, bloggers and media amplified this to 183 'arsonists' by lumping in all total fire ban related charges which would include things like people having a barbecue when they're not supposed to. And then for good measure deniers started saying that these arsonists were environmentalist terrorists. So from 24 charges of arson it became the wildfires were caused by 200 environmental terrorists.

This is extremely demotivating, is there any way to help people better choose the sources they get their information from? So many of the sources people trust in spread wildly untrue misinformation.

I don't know what you mean doubling. It is absorbing radiation form the Earth and re-radiating, doesn't that make sense?

w do you handle the large number of missteps and flat out errors climate science has produced that are easily pointed to as an overall lacking in the science basis itself?

What are you thinking of?

What happens to energy that is absorbed?

High energy what? What's the scenario that emitted IR could not be absorbed?
